so, if it is considered "hacking" to do this, what about the first time he found the exploit? He didn't intend to do that he just jumped the gun to get back to playing. Was that mistake a crime?

Is it stealing if a cashier gives you too much change back and you don't say anything?

Is it stealing if you cash checks on an account you know is overdrawn but don't say anything? They gave you the money, it is up to them to verify the balance on the account, right?
